Drawn from vines planted between 1885 and 1910, the 2019 Budwood Ancient Vines is a blend of dry-farmed, own-rooted Carignan, Mataro, and Alicante Bouschet. Deep purple in color, richly textured and complex, finishing with soft tannins and a firm acid backbone. Notes of black and red bramble fruits, with extremely well integrated oak. Perfect with sausage and fennel pasta, burgers, and wings.
